I love this property with is old fashioned furnishings, staircase , and elevator that can only hold two people. Traveling as a group of three friends the two bedroom unit met our requirements. It would be great for a family. Only drawback was seeing a homeless person sleeping in the alley next to the hotel.

We always stay at the Cary House when we visit Placerville. It's within 15 minutes drive to great wineries, you're across the street from great restaurant's and the local shops are charming. We enjoy taking a stroll around the town after dinner and look in the shop windows. Maybe on day we will even encounter a ghost!

Happy with property not so happy with hotel.com not letting me use my gift card or being reachable by phone- finally get a human and still can’t use the gift card The property was was very nice just be aware of the elevator, it’s old and they tell you to watch your step and I forgot and tripped but there’s a VibesUp store nearby and they fixed my sore knee quickly!

Lady at the front desk was very nice. The building is very old so don't expect it to be anything like a new hotel but it's nice for how old it is. My only complaint is that the bed made a lot of noise so moving around or rolling over in the night might wake up the other person.
